Lidocaine salts self-assembled into different nano systems in water at a clinical dosage (2%, 0.2 mL) without excipient addition, and led to different sensory block durations and acute systemic toxicities, which were affected by the self-delivery and self-release behaviors of the salts . These differences were mainly caused by intermolecular π-π stacking under different conditions, which was proved by the unique supramolecular arrangement of gourd-shaped Janus particles. π-π stacking in lidocaine nano systems can be enhanced by carbon dioxide addition or the exchange of counter ions from Br to Cl. Without π-π stacking, nano systems self-assembled by lidocaine hydrobromide achieved 7.8 h sensory block by intradermal administration on rats, which is much longer than the efficacy of classical local anesthetics and more suitable for postoperative treatment.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanofluidic architectures with nanoconfined interlayer channels and excess surface charges have revolutionized membrane-based reverse electrodialysis systems, demonstrating highly efficient osmotic energy collection through strong electrostatic screening of electric double layer (EDL). However, the ion-transport dynamics in 2D nanofluidic anion-selective membranes (2D-NAMs) still remain unexplored. Here, we combine density functional theory and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to systematically explore ion transport in the 2D-NAMs.

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a promising therapy for neurological and inflammatory disorders across multiple organ systems. However, conventional rigid interfaces fail to accommodate dynamic mechanical environments, leading to mechanical mismatches, tissue irritation, and unstable long-term interfaces. Although soft neural interfaces address these limitations, maintaining mechanical durability and stable electrical performance remains challenging.

Advances in molecular analysis and characterization techniques should revolutionize the methods for scientific exploration across physics, chemistry, and biology, fundamentally overturning our understanding of interactions and processes that govern molecular behavior at the microscopic level. Currently, the absence of a molecular analysis method that can both quantify molecules and achieve single-molecule spatial resolution hinders our study of complex molecular systems in sorption and catalysis. Here, we propose a quantitative analysis strategy for small molecules confined in ZSM-5, a zeolite material extensively used in catalysis and gas separation, based on low-dose transmission electron microscopy.

A flat control law is based on the structural analysis of a controlled system, allowing optimal placement of sensors and actuators. Once designed, any desired dynamics can be imposed onto the system. When the target dynamics comes from a system structurally different from the controlled one, generalized synchronization can be achieved, provided the control gain is sufficiently large.

The separation and propagation of spin are vital to understanding spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in quantum systems. Exciton-polaritons, hybrid light-matter quasiparticles, offer a promising platform for investigating SOC in quantum fluids. By utilization of the optical anisotropy of materials, Rashba-Dresselhaus SOC (RDSOC) can be generated, enabling robust polariton spin transport.
